band has been lifted from what you just heard. you heard from our reporter, there s ban huge aftershock. zoom in and take a look at here. we are watching for one aftershock. i m going to walk over to googlette to show you the magnitude of it as i set is cursor here. 6.1 is the most recent aftershock in chile right now. this is a large aftershock. if this was just an earthquake on its own, it would be very intense. because we started off yesterday with 8.8. it is not surprising we are seeing more aftershocks occur. in fact, all the orange and yellow dots are aftershocks that occurred within the last 24 hours. you can see another strong one that occurred. that was offshore. the epicenter was three miles offshore as well, but we are getting quake activity with aftershocks one year further inland. some of these you won t feel, betty and rob, but other things will shake things up across the scene. just what you want to edge.
post it here, cnnbrk. also, a lot of people are getting information about chile. search for chile on twitter and you can see what people are putting there. and for information on hawaii, they come up with hitsunami and people are continuing to write today about the results of what happened yesterday. how it affected people, how many people are affected. and in some case, what they are doing now? are they getting back to normal life? we ll follow a lot more of these, and we ll also tell you later on this morning about how some scammers out there, guys are already trying to take advantage of people online who are trying to reach out and help those stuck in this tragedy. unbelievable. people will take advantage of this. i want to say, are you kidding me? but we hear this every time. it is sick. raise the red flag on them, josh. we ll try to alert folks. we got them. see you, guys. thank you, josh. we ll check in now with brian burns live for us in santiago, chile. he s been tr
that for you and bring you the latest. in the meantime, all tsunami warnings have been canceled. yesterday we were telling you that experts feared a tsunami would sweep across the pacific basin as far as japan, russia, even australia. well, across chile, many people spent the night outside fearing more aftershocks. secretary of state hillary clinton already had planned a trip to latin america this week. and on tuesday she is expected in chile. let s turn now to the situation on the ground. rafael romo is cnn s senior latin american editor. just like haiti, a lot of people must have spent the night outside last night. reporter: that s right, rob and betty. the big concern right now, you talked about it before, the fear is aftershocks. people are afraid to go back into their homes and buildings because there have been so many aftershocks that they are afraid at any moment the walls may collapse. and we have we may have more
certainly, low. are you surprised by this? or is this just great preparation? well, it is not all preparation. mother nature has a part in this, too. haiti in the earthquake was very shallow to the one compared in chile. five miles versus 22 miles. and you are much closer to port-au-prince, the capital, than you were to santiago, so those two combinations make damage worse for haiti. no doubt about that. and certainly, the building codes in haiti pretty much nonexistent, but in chile, a little more strict. that said, are you impressed with how well the structures have held up considering your knowledge of how that city, at least the modern parts of it, have been built? well, you always like it to do better. the building code is designed to prevent loss of life. you can have damage, but not loss of life and be a success. so chile did well in that sense. not perfect, of course. but no one is perfect, even
you know, there is one thing that s pretty obvious in covering the unfolding catastrophe in chile. and that is that there s a growing role for social media. and that s helping to get the word out, not only about what s happening on the ground closest to where all the damage is, but also when it comes to finding people that may have been lost in this tragedy. yeah. anything disastrous in the last five years the media sites have played a human role. josh levs has the latest gathering online. what are you fining, josh? we are talking about twitter and facebook in a moment, but i want to start off with the most interesting photos we have been getting from our own i-report es. we have been looking at a lot of them. here s my screen, first, but we ll look at this from helen who is inside santiago.
